i made this instead of writing

Anything I've been doing lately: Aside from work, I have recently just been drawing and trying to catch up with a Youtube DND stream series I have been holding off for a long time. It's called "Shadows of the Old World", the sequel series to "Welcome to the Show". I also recently bought some items for a future cosplay I want to do. I don't do cosplays often so this will probably be the only time I'll do it, lol
Anything you intended to do later: Either more drawing or finally return back to writing the stuff I have been putting off.
Anything you recently watched or played: I already mentioned the DND stream series so I'll just say that I recently binge-played the entire remastered trilogy of Spyro. I got the Spryo/Crash bundle when it was on sell on Steam. Though I'm not binge-playing Crash like I did Spyro because I want to be productive in my free time.
Anything you've been meaning to watch or play: It's more of a read but I've been putting off reading the "Go the Distance: A Twisted Tale" book I got a while ago. I love Disney's Hades but reading a real book is a lot harder for me. lol I've been holding off on seeing finishing "Freakazoid" and "Dan Vs." I want to watch both in full, but I have so much other stuff I have in my downloaded video folders and I'm trying to keep up with the stuff I put in the watch later on Youtube so it doesn't go over 100. This isn't a "I've been meaning "to watch and more of a "I plan to watch" but I'm looking forward to Undead Unluck coming out in October. It's been confirmed that it's going to be on Hulu so I'm happy because I already use that service for Bob's Burgers and other anime. So September for Bob's Burgers and October for Undead Unluck, both months are going to be good for me!
Anything else you'd like to say: Uuuuuh, I guess that my birthday is coming up on the 8th. No need to say happy bday to me on that day since I keep my asks closed anyway. However, if you really feel like it, just comment here on my bday if you want to send me good bday vibes.
Okay, thank you for reading and I tag no one because I don't feel like it. Anyone who feels likes doing it, be my guest.

@tacosandtouchtanks Okay, I just wanted to update you that I made a decision a day or two ago but haven't said anything till now. Here's the thing, I decided for my touch tank idea I would do the creatures that could actually appear in a touch tank. This is the best option so Tina can project onto the touch tank creatures in her moment of crisis. So sadly, shrimp is not an option anymore for the touch tank idea. In better news, I now have my cast. Zeke: Sea cucumber (obviously that's not going to change) Tina: Sea urchin (kina specifically) Jimmy Jr.: Starfish (Not required to read this part, I'm just explaining the reasons for my choice through the power of synopsis XD)
While perhaps when Tina was 13 she probably dreamt of herself as a starfish. As she gets older though her anxiety gets to her and now through her narrow perspective, she sees herself as a sea urchin. So say after her break up with Jimmy Jr. She leaves her childhood home to find herself. Along the way, she has given up on finding her soulmate and only goes on casual dates. There's still that idealism inside her but she keeps it hidden through her spines of denial and suppression of her feelings. So while she's not expecting to find her soul mate on the first date, she would still hope to at least find a guy that's worth more than 1 date. She goes to the touch tank to try to relax and reflect on all that led up to now. She starts to hate her own reflection because she hates how she fears intimacy now when that's all she ever wanted. She believes that all her attempts at relationships just ended up hurting someone one way or another. She believes all she ever does is make things worse and that even though she wants intimacy, she'll never be able to truly be accepted by someone. Even now, as she's back in her childhood home, Zeke has been determined to try to start a relationship with her. While she feels an emotional connection with him after years of friendship, even then she keeps him at a distance because she's comfortable with the relationship they have already. Deep down, she also doesn't want to admit the superficial reason why she hasn't given Zeke a chance. She simply wasn't attracted to him physically. She doesn't want what happened with Henry Haber and her to happen to him, Zeke doesn't deserve that. She's scared that emotional connection won't be strong enough to overcome her stupid type preference. After all, her own mother left her fiance for her dad simply because he had a sexy mustache. Who's to say that she wouldn't do the same to Zeke? Just the thought of that kills her. So to her, it's better for her to keep it as just friendship with Zeke even if maybe she might even want to give him a chance. She's just too superficial and it's better if he just realizes she's not worth it and moves to someone who deserves him more than she ever did. She drifts off into an aquatic-themed daydream as she immerses her hands in the water again. As a sea urchin, she tried so many ways to find love in the beautiful starfishes of the world. Unfortunately, even though both creatures have regeneration abilities, none of the starfishes wanted anything to do with her because of how unapproachable she looked and how awkward she acted. In turn, Sea Urchina (I'm just going to use this for sea urchin Tina and do puns for the rest) tries her hardest by consuming as many algae as she can to clean the ocean. Sadly, she would overdo it in the end and the algae she consumed killed a kelp forest. This made her relations with the entire ocean worse when all she wanted to do was help and show she was more than her appearance. So she closes herself off from others, thinking no one would miss her anyway. No one was willing to get close to her because of the spines and how the spines would affect them. She tried so hard to make it work with Starry Jr, but even she eventually grew tired of the two constantly regenerating from each other's attempts at a relationship. She had her sea urchin family to turn to at least. She had adjusted to their spines so she could handle their jabs because she knew it all came from love. Even so, she still longed to be accepted as she was from at least one outside her family. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life thinking all she did was make everything worse for the other fish.
Then along came Zeke U. Cumber. Despite her insecurities telling her, she's better off keeping her distance from other fish so no one gets hurt. Zeke U. Cumber reminds Sea Urchina that while she did destroy the kelp forest, things weren't as bad as they seemed. The aftermath of the kelp forest made it a great space for urchins, sea cucumbers, and even starfish, though none of the starfish will admit it. So even if didn't work out the way Sea Urchina planned, the ocean will still be a better place because she's in it. Sea Urchina will never be able to tell how Zeke U. Cumber is able to make the best out of the worst of situations. He was always making the world a better place, he even let shrimp ride him as well as crabs,  polychaete worms, and pearlfish live in his anus just so they can be safe. Zeke U. Cumber had nothing to gain from being so helpful but he did it anyway, he even helped her see that she's not the bane of the ocean's existence. Originally, she dreamed of being seen as someone as wonderful as a starfish despite being a sea urchin. She thought she could never bring anything other than pain to those she wanted to be close to, so she stopped trying. Then along came an optimistic sea cucumber to show her that she's already wonderful on her own and even if the whole ocean doesn't see it that way, she still did her part in helping and making a difference. Tina comes back from her daydream and realizes how much of a fool she's been. For years Zeke has been supporting all his friends, including her for years with nothing in return. He was always there to support his friends but who was there to support him? Even in her own daydream, she used Zeke as a way to pick herself up but never did it for him. She thinks of Zeke's warm smile, how he always makes the best of a situation even if it's crappy. She thinks of how Zeke at times has the energy of a hyper bulldog and how adorable it can be at times. She always had a thing for accents, it wasn't a foreign one but it was still an accent. She has her suspicions that Zeke has been working on his glutes, so maybe... Wait, holy crap! Was she actually attracted to Zeke? Maybe this could actually work and she was overthinking it? She's not 13 anymore so perhaps she can overcome her type preference and find the unique ways that make Zeke attractive after all. I mean she had an emotional connection with Zeke, something that she didn't have with Henry Haber. So maybe it was because of her emotional attraction to Zeke she was able to overcome what she usually liked in a guy. It was more than that though, she was done being selfish. Zeke has never given up on her even when she gave him every reason to do so. She wants to be the one to give back to him. She wants to support him after years of him supporting everyone. She wants to be there to comfort him when the mask came off and he's vulnerable. Even if the thought of messing things up and hurting him scares her. She believes without a doubt that they can overcome it because Zeke is stubborn as a mule and she's never getting rid of him. She runs back to the restaurant to find Zeke and starts giving back. It wasn't going to be easy for her to overcome her lingering anxiety. She knows in the end it will be worth it once she finally lets go and let Zeke into her inner world. It was time for this sea urchin to stop being spineless.
Okay, it's so super clear to me that the sea cucumber is the perfect sea creature to represent Zeke. There's just so much about the sea cucumber that relates to Zeke in hilarious ways. The most important one is that the sea cucumber is that it's a creature that is always helping others but rarely gets anything back. The majority of their relationships are more commensal than symbiotic, they aren't being harmed but they aren't gaining anything either. You can also do the pun Zeke u cumber. It's not the best pun but it's something. XD
My problem is that I don't know which sea creature could represent Tina. I have some candidates but I would really like some input as well because I'm not sure which is the best to choose? Here's the list I have so far. 1. Tuna (for the pun for Tina and an opportunity for Zeke to say "you tuna me on". A redemption for his canned Tina joke and general attitude in "Presto Tina-O" lol) 2. Kina (a New Zealand sea urchin and another Tina pun opportunity and an "I'm kina you" joke ((like I'm keen on you if that wasn't obvious already)), Sea urchins do eat sea cucumbers, but they also are part of the same family as sea cucumbers and starfish so make of that what you will) 3. Hermit Crab (least favorite option. While Saucy the hermit carb is important to Zekina lore, hermit crabs eat sea cucumbers so not a good choice) 4. Shrimp (Nothing pun-worthy, but shrimp does technically have the most symbiotic relationship to sea cucumbers, the shrimp still benefits more though. There's also something poetic you can do with shrimp seeing more colors than other creatures) 5. Sea Cucumber (I mean, I guess Tina probably could see herself as a sea cucumber as well, but this is my second least favorite option because it's boring) So I would appreciate any feedback on which one you like best for Tina. I really want a sea creature that fits Tina for her and Zeke's dynamic. My favorite is between the shrimp and the kina. Let the aquatic themes prevail for these two! XD
Steven!
Yeah, yeah I’ll get in the time out corner
Can we take bets on which “rock people” Ronaldo runs into in Rocknaldo? Before it’s leaked next week.
TINA: So you know , ... he called me.
JIMMY JR.: Already?
GENE: Zeke called you?
TINA: [nods]
GENE: He he This guy really gets around.
TINA: Do you mind?
JIMMY JR.: I don't mind at all. Why should I mind? What did he say?
TINA: He asked me out for Saturday night.
JIMMY JR.: Oh, ya' going?
TINA: I told him I was busy.
JIMMY JR.: Ah, really.

JIMMY JR.: Well, frankly it is.
TINA: I've never seen you this jealous before.
JIMMY JR.: Well you're not even a fan. I was at match six - you didn't even watch it.
TINA: Wait a second, wait a minute! You jealous of him or you jealous of me?
[long pause]
I decided to make this because to me “Fruits Basket” was the “Steven Universe” for me before I even watched the latter show. Tohru is kind of like Steven in a way, healing lost broken things/people with their kindness and loving nature. Tohru even has a dead mother and lives with 3 other people. That’s pretty much it, though.
One reason why I’m doing this is because I wanted to make a “Steven Universe” version of this anime since anime is definitely smiled upon in that show. So in my headcanon, the show in that universe will be called Fruit Salad (call me out if you can think of a better title). Instead of turning into animals when stressed or hugged by the opposite sex, they will turn into their true form as aliens from another galaxy. That’s pretty much all I got for now considering it’s just a headcanon of an anime within a cartoon show.
 So here’s the list so far.
Hatsuharu – Onyx (fusion of Black Tourmaline and White Tourmaline)(Gem Placement: right hand and left hand)
Kisa – Cryolite (Gem Placement: stomach)
Momiji – Golden Topaz (Gem Placement: chest)
Hatori – Dravite Tourmaline (Gem Placement: left eye)
Ayame – Septaria (Gem Placement: front side of the neck)
Isuzu – Arfvedsonite (Gem Placement: nose)
Hiro – Carnelian (Gem Placement: forehead)
Ritsu – Rhodochrosite (Gem Placement: back)
Kureno – Stichtite (Gem Placement: stomach)
Shigure – Tourmilated Quartz (Gem Placement: backside of the neck)
Kagura – Variscite (Gem Placement: chest)
Yuki – Sodalite (Gem Placement: forehead)
Kyo – Bloodstone (because of his beads for is bracelet were from bones and some were dipped with blood.) (Gem Placement: left wrist)
Akito - Â Serpentine (Gem Placement: forehead)
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.
Why couldn’t Cats 2019 have just been an animated movie of actual cats!? Not those freaking humanoid things pretending to be cats! Either way, this is good content.
rewatched the original Cats with some friends after seeing the new trailer and i really wanted to redraw them!! mistoffelees is still my super favoritee
Susmita and Will is something I definitely didn't see coming. Hopefully they're just there for bg space filler and the Hemita ship isn't really in danger. XD I just thought it was interesting and I wanted to share it.
SPECIFY WHICH SPECIFIC TYPE OF CREATURE TO THE WIZARD IN THE TAGS BELOW, IF APPLICABLE, OR ELSE HE WILL DECIDE RANDOMLY. YOU GET ONE SHOT AT THIS.
Just a she/her that loves animation, creating characters, and shipping a lot. Commissions are closed, sorry.
